It has been stated numerous times. Adam Smith, an OU Student said a security guard told him first, and then apparently CH. 9 interviewed the security guard but I haven't found that interview and reviewed it yet.

Most important thing to remember in this is that student witnesses are being discredited left and right.

For a comprehensive summary on what's been reported so far in this case please see my blog (originally posted here at FR, but too large to do so now - lots of source links, documents, etc...)

I've got links to some of her eyewitness reports from Oct. 1 in the summary at my blog. Check out post #41 for the link. She has done an incredible job for sure.

Some of these paragraphs are lifted right out of the OK Daily editorial I posted earlier today. Must be written by the same person...

See post #44 - duplicate paragraphs in this blog and the OK Daily editorial from today.

My apologies, I'm trying to respond too quickly to my pings. This blog writer lifted the stuff on purpose and it is a quoted excerpt - not his writing.

"FBI to break its unctuous vow of silence "

Maybe it's just me, but really, "unctuous"?
unctuous \UNGK-choo-us\, adjective:
1. Of the nature or quality of an unguent or ointment; fatty; oily; greasy.
2. Having a smooth, greasy feel, as certain minerals.
3. Insincerely or excessively suave or ingratiating in manner or speech; marked by a false or smug earnestness or agreeableness.

CROM, is 'unwarranted' or 'unnecessary' too hard to use or is somebody from your college lit class visiting?

(spits and walks off)

I think they meant onerous, myself.

So I've been told. I will try to search for her post, but this sort of info can't appear in too many places, so I'm hopeing she reposts.

Continue looking, but the gist of it is that only some gates have cameras, and other than the "donor" gates, those point away from the gates and to the ticket windows, IOW they are there for theft prevention, not physical security. She also reports new cameras going up after the fact. So, it could be true that no video camera caught anyone running away after refusing a backpack search, but the cameras, those that exist all, are not positioned to have caught something going on at the turnstiles (or whatever arrangement they have for taking/checking tickets at the gates).

BTW, she also made a recon pass by the Mosque and the apartment complex where Joel lived, verifying that the old blue Lincoln Town Car was still there as of yesterday, over a week after the event.

Meanwhile here are a couple of her posts on the subject:

Also, the kid's apartment was loaded with explosives and his Lincoln Town Car had over 400 pounds of bomb making stuff in the car. His roommate was from Pakistan and is now no where to be found.

Just these FACTS seem enough for the MSM to go National with a story, and no one is even talking about putting any "dots" together as far as three know college campuses in the USA having devices explode!

I guess I'm Stuck on Stupid and I'm not even a Democrat!

Wonder if the imam put out the word to deny that the kid was ever in the mosque. There was an article this weekend in one of the OK media sources that the Muslims are very scared of what will happen in Norman if people start believing this was a Terrorist attack gone bad.

"The blogosphere, led by Michelle Malkin, has been chronicling the suspicious explosion at the University of Oklahoma..."

Rewritten correctly:

Another fact that PKM as well as other Scooner Season Ticket holders have noted was that after the game last Saturday they received emails noting that they had not used some of their tickets and wanted to know if they gave any one a ticket and if so who. The alumni indicated that they was pretty unusual. They they sometimes don't use all their tickets for a particular game, but never were questioned about the unused tickets.

Also, it seems odd that President Boren flatly stated that the kid did not buy a ticket to the game. Does UO keep a record of who buys tickets to their games? They don't at our State universities.

Yet the story persists of someone sprinting off when guards asked to inspect his bag. I initially saw this 'story' in a live news broadcast interview of a stadium security employee. That is exactly what he said - sprinted off.

Thank goodness for the internet. It's getting harder and harder for them to hide these types of events.

Oh, how algore must detest having invented it, eh?

Maybe he'll invent a time machine too and go back and prevent his past self from inventing the internet.

The Suits at CBS are beginning to see something here.

PS, as an aside; "Inherently, people should perceive the unfounded news broadcasts as the liars"

Paging Mr. Rather, Mr. Dan Rather. Please pickup the white courtesy phone.

Mr. Rather, please see above comment from some smart college reporters. You could use the lesson.

The fact that the national suits in the media have essentially ignored this story, tells you all you need to know about the national media. It's laughable that local news reporters are working harder than the national media they're affiliated with.

Only when and if a story involves the undermining of the White House, will the national media make hay with it. But, since this involves national security, all they want to do is stick their collective heads in the sand and completely ignore it.

Isn't it some kind of Muslim doctrine that they are expected to lie to the "infidels"?

Yep.
